I’m so excited to see this team develop into something great. These kids are going to battle for each other and for some reason the last roster we had before the changes I don’t think had this. This season might be a wash but I hope to see some solid development. 20/21 will be be the start of hopefully a long run with a competitive teams.

I dont think any fan that wants to see this team win the stanley cup wants to see them do any better than the last few years. This year we actually have our first so there is optimism and its not so bad when we see the team lose, atleast we know were getting a star player out of it. Rushing all these young players into the lineup makes no sense at all in the big picture. Formenton, Brannstrom absolutely need more time developing in the AHL they are only 20 years old. Lajoie and Brown probably do too. Where is Brannstrom going to play this year ahead of Wolanin? Who is clearly much further along in development.
Why cant we just have a clear message that portrays some intelligence. This team thinks our fanbase are a bunch of clueless morons, we know this is the perfect opportunity to maximize assets with all the expiring contracts and a really deep draft. Just give us some reassurance that the organization actually has a real plan.
Breeding a winning culture, and properly developing our young players is more important than purposely losing and picking a few picks higher in the draft.
If they wanted to breed a winning culture they would be trying to make the team better and actually retaining its good veterans, not selling players and picks for money. This team needs star forward talent. Rushing prospects to sell tickets isnt breeding a winning culture or developing the young players properly.
Maple Leafs 2.0 Shelter Young Senators. Makes a great headline.No ****. I wanted to keep at least some of the talent (Stone in particular), but Dorion had no choice in the matter since Melnyk was the one with the purse strings. The next best thing is bringing in other veterans to shelter the kids, like DJ Smith was saying.
What brought you to this conclusion?
Well you look at the Karlsson vs Hoffman situation (and their wives) and then rumors some players disliked Karlsson because he didn't like to practice with the team. Don't get me wrong there were players who fought hard for each other on the last team.
I just think the roots run deeper with this set of kids.

The "roots"?
Most of these young players will be playing with each other for the first time this year.
And the kids that have played together have experienced nothing but losing at the professional level.
Well when you look at guys like Brown, White, Tkachuk, Norris who have all gone through the USA development and guys like Chabot & White who came up together I just think imo this group is much closer.
How is that possible?
Nah. I'll settle for a Stanley Cup and 1st overall pick courtesy of San Jose Sharks.The future is next year. This is another tank year. They absolutely can't **** this up and the high pick is the most important part of all. High end talent is what wins you championships.
I will be very disappointed if they overachieve.
Well if we're writing fairy tales, sure sign me up!Nah. I'll settle for a Stanley Cup and 1st overall pick courtesy of San Jose Sharks.
There are two spots up front, possibly, and maybe one on defence, so I don't think there is going to be a rushing of many players at all this seasonI dont think any fan that wants to see this team win the stanley cup wants to see them do any better than the last few years.
